MG-285 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz

This design takes the pentagonal route marker of the MG-285, a state highway in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and gives it the whole field.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat vector image in just two colours: deep black and crisp white, with white taking roughly four-fifths of the field. The pentagon sits at the centre as the clear focal point, outlined and set against the open white ground. Inside it, the letters MG sit above the numerals 285, bold and blocky, so the code reads at a glance. There is no ornament or background clutter. Everything is plain, legible and built for a driver to take in quickly.

Meaning & Symbolism

In Brazil, the shape and alphanumeric code are standard identifiers for state-managed roads, distinguishing them from federal highways. The "MG" prefix marks Minas Gerais, and the number locates this particular route. The MG-285 runs 67 kilometres across two segments, passing through Cataguases, Dona Euzébia, Astolfo Dutra and Piraúba, and forms part of the Serras e Cachoeiras tourist circuit. Managed by the DER-MG, it is a working piece of the state's infrastructure. Recent 2024 restoration work and new signage along the route give the design its contemporary moment, celebrating the regional identity carried by a humble road marker.

Made for the Pint in Your Hand

A road sign is a small, quick message, and a pint glass is a surface you read while you hold it. The pentagon's sharp black outline and bold white field translate neatly onto the curve of a tall glass, so the MG-285 marker stays visible from every angle as you turn it. It is a fitting pick for anyone who has ever followed a winding route on a long drive and wanted a toast to the journey.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
